Mandriva bug report: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47840

Somewhere between svn revision 39872 and 40957, webkitgtk does not load images anymore which are on the local disk and which are opened from a local file. With the Perl bindings, loading a local file with
Gtk2::WebKit::View->load_html_string(cat_('/foobar') used to correctly open the local file /foobar and display all local images which are loaded by that HTML file. However, somewhere between revision 39872 and 40957, this was broken, and now webkitgtk displays the text in the html file, but does not load the images anymore.

Test cases for Mandriva can be found in the upstream bug report.

Actually it seems this is caused by the migration from curl to lisboup: mandriva's svn release was using curl, while in 39872 it is using libsoup.

I guess this is no longer a problem
